Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

Xiao Jingheng immediately raised the torch and shone it. It was indeed a broken arm. He immediately held Song Wanyin in his arms and comforted her softly:

"Little sister, don't look down.

I am here, so don't be afraid even if there is a ghost in this cave.

You have to remember that people have the Samadhi True Fire in their bodies, and no demons or monsters dare to approach them. "

Song Wanyin was so scared that she hid in his arms and trembled, fearing that something terrible would suddenly rush out of the cave.

“Brother, let’s go in and take a look and then leave.

I always feel that the yin energy in this cave is very heavy, so I am afraid I will bump into something unclean."

Xiao Jingheng subconsciously took her little hand, wanting to give her a little strength, and said firmly:

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Song Wanyin felt the warmth coming from his palm, as if she had taken a reassurance pill, she calmed down a little, nodded heavily and said:

"Ah."

The firelight illuminated the cave all the way. They walked to the deepest part and suddenly found seven or eight large boxes piled up in a corner.

Song Wanyin was delighted, and walked forward quickly, opened the box, and carefully checked each one, exclaiming:

"Brother, yes, these are my silk goods.

I didn’t expect that they were actually intercepted by the bandits.”

Xiao Jingheng did not respond to her, but frowned and stared at the ground on the other side.

All I saw there were the remains of bodies of people from the Humen Escort Agency lying all over the place. They had all been killed by bandits. They had died in horrible ways and their faces were all unrecognizable, looking particularly horrifying.

He immediately stepped forward, blocking Song Wanyin's sight with his body, and whispered:

"Little Junior Sister, don't turn your head and look over there. There are unclean things over there."

Song Wanyin's heart sank, and she didn't dare to turn around to look. A trace of worry appeared in her eyes:

"Brother, these people in the Humen Escort Agency are all innocent. When we return, we must seek justice for them.

Bring those bandits and the masterminds behind them to justice."

Xiao Jingheng's heart was filled with anger, and he was determined to find these bandits and avenge these innocent people.

"Okay, let's move these seven or eight big boxes out quickly. Fortunately, there is still a wheelbarrow, which looks like it should still be usable."

They acted right away. Song Wanyin and Xiao Jingheng immediately began to move the seven or eight large boxes. The two of them walked one in front and one behind, working together to transport the silk goods and prepare to leave the cave.

Just as they were about to reach the cave entrance, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

Song Wanyin and Xiao Jingheng looked at each other, both filled with vigilance.

If bandits show up, they will rely on their numbers and will be difficult to deal with.

Song Wanyin looked around, pointed at a large rock, and whispered:

"Brother, let's go over and hide."

Xiao Jingheng nodded slightly and pushed the wheelbarrow hard. With her help, he quickly hid behind a big rock and secretly watched the situation outside.

A dozen or so bandits came in one after another and started talking loudly.

"Boss, we killed all the people from the Humen Escort Agency. They won't come looking for us, right?"

"Look at how cowardly you are. The Humen Escort Agency didn't dare to come to us because they were not sure how many people we have."

"Boss, what should we do with these silk goods?"

"Let's put it here for now. This cave is very remote and no one will come here normally."

"Boss, their offer is too low. If it weren't for our old acquaintance, I would really like to blackmail them."

"Haha, why are you in such a hurry? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Anyway, this batch of silk goods is in our hands, and they will definitely come to ask for it."

"Boss, you are wise. I think these silks are all top-quality goods and worth a lot of money. If they are unwilling to pay a high price, then we can just find a way to sell them ourselves."

Song Wanyin hid behind a big rock and looked at the bandits with weapons in their hands, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

From the conversation between the bandits, she learned that they were sent here by someone else to intercept her silk cargo.

She guessed in her heart that the people who wanted to kill her the most were the Gu family. This matter was definitely related to the Gu family. It was time to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Xiao Jingheng silently memorized the appearance of the bandits in his heart. After returning, he immediately notified the government office and asked them to draw the portraits of the bandits overnight.

The bandits did not discover the hiding place of Song Wanyin and Xiao Jingheng, and entered the cave talking and laughing.

As soon as they entered, Song Wanyin and Xiao Jingheng hurried to move the silk goods.

The two took the opportunity to leave the cave quietly. They decided to go back for help and bring these bandits to justice.

Song Wanyin had an idea and left a mark here so that he could find it easily in the future.

Xiao Jingheng raised his chin, pointed to the remote path in front of him, and said decisively:

"Junior sister, let's take a shortcut down the mountain. This path is rarely used by people, so it is overgrown with weeds and difficult to walk on.

However, even if the bandits chased us out, they would never expect us to leave from here."

As soon as they went down the mountain along the secluded path, the bandits rushed out of the cave, and the leader roared angrily:

"Damn it! How dare someone steal silk and satin goods? If I catch him, I will cut that thief into pieces!"

Song Wanyin and Xiao Jingheng did not dare to stop at all along the way and pushed the wheelbarrow with all their strength. The mountain road was not easy to walk on and they sprained their ankles several times and almost fell down.

"Brother, I will never be able to repay you for your kindness to me in this lifetime."

She looked at Xiao Jingheng struggling to push the cart, and never imagined that he was a rising star in the court, a big shot in front of the emperor, yet he was willing to be her laborer.

Xiao Jingheng pushed the cart of silk goods, his face was not red, he was not out of breath, and he pretended to be relaxed:

"Junior Sister, how do you plan to compensate me?"

When Song Wanyin heard this, he immediately said seriously:

"I've thought about it. When I get back, I'll set up a longevity tablet for my senior brother.

Burn incense and kowtow day and night to bless you with peace and longevity. "

Xiao Jingheng knew his position in Song Wanyin's heart. It seemed that she was gradually opening her heart to him, with a meaningful smile in her eyes:

"Okay, as long as I have a breath left, I will protect you for the rest of my life."

Song Wanyin's cheeks flushed. How could she be worthy of his protection? After going through the ups and downs of this period of time, they both shared the same hatred and a subtle feeling arose in her heart for him.

For some reason, she felt that as long as her senior brother was by her side, she would feel at ease and at peace. He was like a stabilizing force.

Especially when I thought about my senior brother getting married and having children in the future, I felt an inexplicable sense of loss in my heart.

In her mind, all the noble ladies in the capital are not worthy of her senior brother.
